Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: ^22 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: ^23 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: ^24 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: ^25 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these _are_ the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram. ^26 27 ¶ And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which _is_ Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. ^27 28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. ^28 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, _being_ old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. ^29
